STRAIGHTEN OUT YOUR POOL STROKE! - Magic Tape Drill (High Efficiency)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 тра 2022
- In this video I have a special trick for you, by putting regular tape over your cue tip. This way you will have zero grip so the only part of the cue ball you can hit without miscueing is the exact middle or one tip under (stun).
This will finetune your stroke tremendously and in a very short time. If you don't want to miscue, you have to hit the middle and therefore your arm will get straighter!

Center ball training is considered critical in pool. This is center ball training with instant feedback. I love it!!!!!
Thanks a lot pal! Happy to read you find it useful 🙏☺
This is a good reminder that you can play good racks without English if you really don't need to, just good angles and stroke. I noticed this recently that I was missing out a lot on center ball hits and once I realised it my game got much much better.
I've been doing this as a warm up in my practice sessions. It has really helped a lot. After just a couple of days, I went into a match as the underdog and came out with a 4-1 win and two break and runs. Huge gains!!
Cool idea. I have a phenolic tip on my break cue. I can wipe all the chalk off and it'll have no grip. An alternative would be plastic food wrap and a rubber band (elastic).
That is an evil drill lol. Definitely shows that my stroke sucks. Thank you
Great video and a really fun practice that i never heard about or tried until now! Was really fun and helpful, as all your other videos. Thanks😀
Fantastic stuff. Super powerful tip!!!
Neils, that's hard. I have been watching your channel for some time now and I have learned quite a lot from watching. So, Thank you very much!!!!!!! I did this drill and like I said it's hard, but I believe it will be worth it. One of my problems is hitting the cue ball in the center, so this is going to help me. I try to watch as many pool matches that I can and do enjoy watching you play. I finally subscribed to your channel, sorry for the delay. I will let you know about mu success as time goes on.
Thanks again and keep bringing us the good stuff.
Terry
Thanks Niels! This is the first time I’ve heard of this training tip and will be sure to incorporate it into my own routine. Up until this point, all other stroke straightening advice I’ve come across has been (like you said) just to shoot 1000 straight in shots, which gets boring real fast. Keep the good content coming brother!!
Always love the music Niels! Thank you for the continued great content!
Thank you for your honesty and letting students understand. Your humble and a great teacher
Solid drill Niels. Always rooting for you on the tele.
Wow! Based on stop shot drills I knew i often hit right of aim point but i had no idea how badly and how often. I was ok on center hits or rolling shots with low cue speeds but medium stuns shot i was terrible. In 10 minutes of shooting i think i miscued with CB going left on all shots but two. I noticed that it was much better (but not great) when I focused on good stroke timing, that is, accelerating the cue smoothly. Thanks to this video I now have an extremely useful teaching aid to straighten out my stroke on higher cue speed shots. Thanks much!!!
Thank You for all the great content I've shared with my APA Teams
Many find it inspiring an d I know from experience there's some funnies here.
Great idea. I casually priced my playing cue one night and sold it leaving me without one for a week. I played with my break cue with phenolic tip for that week and it really helped me concentrate on making my stroke pure so not to miscue
Excellent idea! Trying this !
I like the stroke tune up. In fact the tape has been on tip for a few days. I have ordered a carbon fiber shaft, hope it will be a good upgrade to my game. Keep up the great training video's
Very cool creative idea Niels... Works like magic...cheers
What a great idea . I can't wait to try it. Its amazing what you can accomplish with just center ball and vertical axis english. Thank you.
When I was in college, my dorm had a beat-up pool table and one cue with no tip, just a ferrule. I got decent at using stop shots and follow for shape. I felt a little sorry for myself at the time because of the poor equipment, but it probably actually helped my game. Tape on the tip is a much more severe test, so I will have to give it a try. Thanks for the idea, Niels!
This looks like a lot of fun Niels, going to try this out today :)
Looking forward to trying this!
I've been kind of doing the same thing with my break stick that has a hard hard plastic tip. I think it's Bulletproof. If you don't chalk it you better hit Center. Great idea Niels. Thank you for your hard work, if I wasn't living on such a tight fixed-income I would send some cash your way. If I'm ever able and get a windfall I'll at least and u-100 or two for all the help you've given me. Hope you and family are doing well.
Hi Niels. Cool Stuff. Tomorrow is Training Day and i try this Practice. Thanks for your Instructions. Your Mental Video Series is to recommend. Thumbs up :)
This is a good practice, we should learn from this, good tips from the terminator
This is honestly the best instruction video you have ever done! Tried it tonight on my table and it was a bit of an eye opener. Even a half tip will let you know. Center ball training is the most important lesson in all pool. Thank you!
Glad it helped! Thanks Chris!😀🙏
That's a great idea! Thank you for sharing your wisdom to us who loves playing pool. We wish you good health and more success!
The same to you my friend! Thank you for your support 👊☺
Gotta try this one next weekend, seems to be a nice drill
The Terminator looks ready for the wcp. Amazing form right here 👏 good luck 👍
Fantastic advice - thank you for showing these secrets!
My pleasure!😀
Excellent presentation. Love the idea. Going to try it tomorrow, Cheers Bruv.
Thanks!! How did it go? 🔥😃
Its so good...i will try tomorrow
This is a great idea. I'm going to try it next time I play.
Oh boy, this is super scary and exciting. I can't wait to try it.
Always great tips and tricks 👍👍👍👌
Glad you like them! Thank you Hans 👍☺
Nice one yet again Niels. Off to buy some tape, lol. Cheers.
wow. so creative . love it so much.
Thank you! Cheers! Good fun!😀
The way he lightly roasts us at the beginning of every video 😂
I love your acting on examples of missed shots.
Don’t know how I missed this video. Went downstairs and tried it out for 20-30 minutes and WOW. What an eye opener
It really does work. The only thing is I had to get all the chalk the table because I chalk up before every shot as part of my pre shot routine.
Thank you for another great tool
Yeah hahaha I know what you mean. I also put the chalk away 😄👍🏼

Thanks my friend!! Sharing is much appreciated 🙏😊
Very informative.
Yeah it's a great drill!! I practiced this myself last week, good thing to do now and then 💪💪
Saludos y a probar el ejercicio gracias brother
Thanks!
Thanks Frank!!!! 👌👏😃
Hey Neils, great video. Keep em coming. For years , i have had an old steeplechase 1 piece cue from which i cut off the ferrule and shaped the end of the cue to a nickel radius. Whenever i need to work on my stroke , i drag that old cue out and shoot these same shots. You definitely get instant feedback if you're off center. Got this tip from troy and tammie jones. Works great👍
Perfect pal!! Sounds like another good way to practice a straight stroke 💪😎
Brilliant! I like it! Be Safe
Thanks, you too! Appreciate your comment 👍😊
I've done this before, thought for fun "what if I played with no chalk", and i did notice it makes my stroke very straight!! I spent about 45 minutes to an hour trying to record a break and run with this and got one, it was a great feeling.
I also noticed it helped my break shot out a LOT, because any off center hit I'm screwed. Afterwards, I was breaking really really well!!
Glad got see you do a video on this, it's great.
Nice comment about the break! Good tip 💪🏼😄
My teacher from Netherlands being doing the most love your training sessions videos
Thank you my friend! Happy you like the video. Sharing is much appreciated 👍😃
Awesome video!
Thanks for the visit James! Glad you liked it 💪😀
im struggling my stroke for the past days, i think i got the answer... thank you Niel for this video.. amazing
Thanks for your support and for watching pal! Glad you like the video. Keep up the good work 👊🔥
Outstanding Niels. I have been following you for sometime. I have also taken lessons from Mr. Bert Kinister in the past. (Chicago, Redshoes). What a tug of war watching the Masconi Cup. Team USA vs Niels. Sorry I voted for Team USA. Otherwise, I vote for you. Nothing personal. 🙂Take Care.
as a fairly new shooter to pool i think this will help me alot im always looking for ways to have a good stroke and shot
Why didn't I think of this before. The very good thing about this is that you are still going to use your regular playing cue and not a substitute practice cue or shaft. Not to mention that this does not even cost a thing. When I was training to straighten my stroke, I made my extra shaft have a flat and super hard tip. The problem is that it didn't feel the same when I return playing with my regular shaft.
Yo Terminator! I did this yesterday 4.125 inch pockets... a lot of fun!
Another great video thank you. Good luck in the upcoming World Cup
thank you
I'm going to do this it looks fun
I have not played in a while against anyone. This is a great drill to build my confidence. Thanks
Good to hear pal!! Enjoy your practice 👍😎
There's a lot of other good videos on my channel to help you get back in stroke. All the best, Niels!
Very impressive .... Never heard of this Niels..... I am all ears
Hope you liked it!! Thanks once again for your continuous support 🙏⚡
Excellent video and great idea. I just tried it and it's an excellent way to focus on the stroke. Honestly, every video you post is related to the exact same thing I'm working on at that particular time. I really appreciate it Niels thanks a lot!!
How much of a difference was it for you? Curious on your feedback after you took the tape off?
@@MagicMikeBilliards I actually did quite well with the tape on as I had already spent a few hours working on my stroke. What's nice about the tape is it forces me to take a extra second or two to really make sure the tip is where it should be prior to firing which is something I haven't been doing enough. I need that to become part of my muscle memory. I'll probably do this about twice a week for a while until it becomes natural.
Just try it out Michael French 30 min. Nothing to lose, only to gain 💪🏼👍🏼😄😄🔥🔥
@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen I’ll try it out today. I love exposing my weaknesses and seeing what I need to work on
@@MPL_14.1 I like that! I will try it today! I’m excited! 🎱💪🏼
Thanks buddy..nice video again...woohhhhh
Second drill (last one as well...) is also great to make friends with the tangent line :)
Just tried the tape. Too low or high and I learned real quick about the miscue limit. But, when trying to use center ball I did real well! I am definitely staying on the vertical axis. I have put a lot of time in with the "Mighty X" drill. This drill (along with my improved play) is really proving to me the value of the X!
Thanks again to you.......and Bert Kinister! 😉
Glad you like it pal! Enjoy the exercise and keep up the good work💪😄
Wow! My mind is completely blown! 🤯 Look at all of that action on the cue ball! This is going to become a regular part of daily warm ups, because my stroke is horrible. This is huge! Give me a week of doing this, and I will come back and let you know how things have progressed!
@james good luck!
@@mattmorton12 thank you!
How was it hahaha
@@devbra5585 It has been very eye opening! Every practice session since my first comment started with 30 minutes of this exercise. I became more aware of my stroke and just how sloppy it was.
This exercise has helped me slow down and focus more on the fundamentals, including stance and pre shot routine. I am potting more object balls and miscuing less. It has been fantastic!
You gave me motivation!
wow!! thank you
You are most welcome Joseph! Thanks for watching. Sharing is much appreciated ⚡😎
Thanks
I love it❤️👌
Good to hear! Tnx Senzo! 😀👍
I will try that out looks like it works
This looks a lot more fun than the "bottle drill". Thanks for a new training tool.🤓
You are most welcome Kelly! Hope you liked it. Thanks for your support💪☺
This drill is like magic.
Thanks a lot pal!! Happy you like it. Sharing is much appreciated 🙏😃
Nice! I'm going to work on this today. I'm always steering my follow through. Maybe this can cure my bad habit. I'll let you know how it goes for me.
This was good for me. I hope that with some work I can stop steering the cue ball. I did find that you can hit a little left or right on the cue ball just as you can low and high. But it doesn't put the spin on the cue ball that a normal chalked tip would. As a result I think some straight shots were going in the pocket when normal left or right spin would have thrown the object ball more causing a miss. So that's not great feedback. But overall I think this will help and my stroke will get straighter and more natural. I use a 12.9mm tip and I'm sure a narrower shaft would work even better. But I think it's important to practice with the shaft you play with. Thanks again Niels!!
Great video as usual!!!
7:54 "to see where my stroke is at and how fast I can get it really straight again"
Are you saying that you, Niels Feijen, occasionally need to see where your stroke is at? And fix it?
I don't understand... I assumed that the day I get a Niels' stroke I'm done!
Is this not the case?
Does your stroke need maintenance too?
I have been doing this with my break cue which has only little bit of grip. Great video as always
Yup, was gonna suggest the same. Clean the tip so it doesn't have any chalk on it and go to town on these drills.
Great idea.
@@martinappa6685 he literally says in the video this can damage your tip that's why he puts the tape on
I don't know if she got the idea from you but Jasmin Ouschan mentions the exact same drill in one of her instructional videos.
This guy is a amazing player, I am definitely going to add this to my game, I grow up watching Niels play in Akron Ohio,
Hey Chris!
Thanks for your nice words. Cool to hear that you have seen me play when I was in Ohio back in the days 🔥 Thank you for supporting my channel, I wish you a lot of fun and good workouts with my videos 👌💪
Niels,
You're an enemy on the dreaded team Europe lol haha, but seriously you've long been one of my fav people in pool.
Master talent, top integrity & humility.
In the end, we're all on the same team.
*-God Bless, Jesus loves you.*
Thanks for the nice words!! And for supporting my channel 👊😃
I use my break Q doing this. I dont need tape. It is instant feedback if I hit the ball poorly. I actually can play with my break Q just fine. Follow, draw, whatever English I need. You a forced to have a GREAT stroke. Then when I shoot with my playing Q, its much easier. Sometimes ill play tournaments with my break Q. It blows people's minds lol.
Exelente
There's a stick that I bought and I lent it out to a friend. That was my first mistake and my second mistake is I can't remember who it was. Lol. It's called the Stroke Straightner. I believe the tip is phenolic and it turned on a lathe to sort of a blunt cone shape. You absolutely have to hit it straight center CB or it's a miscue every time. Bought it from a guy down in the San Diego area. That was about 6 years ago. Sure wish I had it as it help me quite a bit like the tape on the tip like trick would do. The stick was pretty reasonably priced too.
Hahahaha good story Eric!! If you should feel like getting a new cue by now, I've got my own web shop 💪 terminator-shop.com/
Feel free to check it out and thank you for supporting my UA-cam channel. It's much appreciated 👌👌
Would playing with an unchalked break cue give the same positive training effect? Maybe playing with your regular playing cue with a slippery tip is better. Great video Niels!
As I explain in the video, the tape
Works as a protective layer so your tip tip doesn’t damage from miscueing 😄💪🏼 good luck 👍🏼
This looks so fun! I'm seriously about to do this right now! I'll let you know how it goes ;)
How was it?
@@antoruby it was a lot tougher than I expected! Something to do again for sure. Absolutely worth trying if you struggle with using spin on every shot.
Thanks for this Niels! Just a question: have you seen any problem putting the tape on the tip and then after the tape, is there any issue with leftover glue from the tape on the tip that might mess up the chalking up? I was thinking of putting a layer of a small piece of paper towel over the tip itself between the tape glue side and the actual tip. Think this is necessary?
Thanks for your message! No, I havn't had any problems but you can try your solution :)
Thanks Niels for this drill. Today hitting 40 straight shots, missed only 8 balls. But it allready helped my shotmaking when tried without tape. Next time i try to do 100 shots, lets see how that goes.
Good work ethics Kalle!! I like it 🔥😎
Today took 50 shots, missed 5. Getting better
My thinking is center ball hit is for beginners and intermediate players. To play very high level of pool required to use left and right spins. By doing this type of drills, will it benefit me when i have to use spins. For example if i have to use half of tip or 1 tip of right of left english, will i be more accurate using the right amount of tip of english for the shot after doing this drill.
I still LOVE the "Mighty X"! I will try this tonight!
Please do! It's definitely one of my personal favourites 😎⚡
Nice
Thanks Jerry 🔥

You got it!! Thank you👍☺
This reminds me of a Halloween tournament we had where everyone had to play with broomsticks.
Never tried tape but tried playing without chalk for long periods of time & see if I could run out. I’ll try this tape thing for kicks.
hoy voy a practicar. tengo ese brazo torcido
Does the tape leave sticky residue on the ferule or tip? If it does, is it easy to clean, doesnt ruin your gear?
Wow wat een unieke manier van oefenen. Nog nooit gezien.
Now I know how I can get an edge. My opponent has to play with tape over their tip.
LMAO. That works great.
Yeahhh!!! Enjoy - it's a lot of fun 🔥🔥
When do you use 18 or 20-21 onces stick?
I need to try this, i got told i cue straight anyways.
But can only improve youre game

Hi is the cue you're using a 60 inch cue? I'm having an uncomfortable feeling using my 58 inch cue it feels too short for me, I'm holding it at all the way at the butt and my stroke feels too stiff and when I follow through it hits my chest. Do you suggest upgrading to a 60 inch cue or just buy an extension?
I would get an extension and play with that all the time. I think optimum cue length for everybody is 9 inches below their height. For example I’m 5’10 (70inches) I play with a 3inch extension which makes it 61 inches
I shot this way the whole time when I was a kid!! We didn't have any chalk and never used it. You had to hit the ball in the center or it would miscue. Oh well....
Playing 3 cushion with that 9 ball!!
Oh no I can see a nightmare coming my way...
Hahaha go to work 😄🔥👍🏼
